Summary

I am a dedicated and passionate individual with a unique blend of educational and interpersonal skills. My background includes a strong foundation in teaching, where I have successfully engaged students in various subjects: Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics Advanced, English Advanced, and English Extension 1, both in private and group settings. My ability to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment is a testament to my adaptability and communication skills, which I have honed through a diverse multicultural background, living in Bermuda, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Australia.

Having attended North Sydney Boys High School, I understand the importance of commitment and excellence, both academically and in a professional setting. I have also gained extensive leadership experience and am well-versed in excelling within competitive environments.
